Whereas the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General has primary responsibility for the Victim Services Program delivered throughout the Province of British Columbia in close collaboration with policing services; And whereas a variety of agencies and local governments delivermanage the Program in different communities, with varying degrees of expertise and limited connection to services to be able to provide adequate supervision and support of victim service workers: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM ask the Province of British Columbia to develop a standardized approach for police-based victim services programs in BC that, among other things, includes additional provincial funding and assigns full responsibility for delivery of these programs to the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General.
